Freak Cycling Accident - View With Caution

Notices
Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

There's a picture of this guy smiling.

A) He gets the Pcad Lifetime HTFU Award

At least it didn't involve the knee. Yes, it looks bad, but a mangled knee usually turns into a degenerative knee.
